Hello Winnie
I would like a clarification
Given that this year, scholarships are only open to Affiliates, and given that only 12 Affiliates actually submitted requests, where can the actual individuals that will participate to Wikimania ask for support ?
I do understand the point of tasking the affiliates to deal with scholarship requests rather than having to deal with them at the Wikimedia Foundation level.
But in the end... 12 Affiliates will possibly cover the needs of their own members.
What about the several hundreds of participants that are not members of one of those 12 affiliates ? And who have no choice to turn to ?
Did I miss something entirely ?
